In this Huberman Lab Essentials) episode, I explore how the auditory and vestibular (balance) systems are essential for enhancing learning and improving focus.
I explain how the auditory system captures sound waves and how the brain interprets these signals to make sense of the environment. I also discuss the use of white noise and binaural beats to support brain states conducive to learning, focus and relaxation. Additionally, I explain how the vestibular system helps maintain balance and examine practical tools to enhance auditory learning, cognitive performance and mood.
